Re: Tomcat 5.5.15 Context Reloading issue
I'm seeing very similar issues on reloading since 5.5.12. I posted details on the 3rd Feb, but nobody seemed that interested... http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-userm=113896054222793w=2 Question: what has changed in how log4 assets are used internally since 5.5.12? It looks like something is assuming a log4j asset is present, and doesn't like the log4j configuration being changed during a context reload. jon - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Tomcat 5.5.15 Context Reloading issue
Looks like a log4j error, not Tomcat error. What does your log4j.properties file look like?

RE: Tomcat 5.5.15 Context Reloading issue
Well, I discovered the cause of the bug, and I can now stop it from
happening, but I'm unable to *fix* the problem. The top logging statement
works properly, while the commented one does not.
The NullPointer on the date occurs because a date is not being sent to the
logger when the context is reloaded. The date is sent on a startup. Tomcat
can survive this error during reload. The other error
(NoClassDefFoundError:VectorWriter) is an issue with the line number being
sent to the logger, which causes the reload to completely fail.
log4j.appender.ap.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n

The host is configured as:
Host name=application.com appBase=C:\web\application
unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=false
xmlNamespaceAware=false reloadable=true
Context path= docBase= debug=1 reloadable=true
Manager pathname= /
/Host
An empty docBase path is rather odd. The appBase parameter is supposed
to point to the directory under which one or more application
directories or war files are stored; docBase should specify the
directory or war for the given application. Perhaps you should try
setting appBase to C:\web and docBase to application.
I've tried to add log4j 1.2.9 to both the common/lib and
server/lib with no success.
Not at the same time, I hope.

Tomcat 5.5.15 Context Reloading issue
I've run into an issue with Tomcat 5.5.15 and the Context reloading. When I change a file in my application, I have the context set to automatically restart. This was working fine with 5.5.12, but there seems to be an issue after I upgraded to 5.5.15. The host is configured as: Host name=application.com appBase=C:\web\application unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false reloadable=true Context path= docBase= debug=1 reloadable=true Manager pathname= / /Host I've tried to add log4j 1.2.9 to both the common/lib and server/lib with no success. If I stop the server and restart, it works properly. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you. My stack trace is: INFO: Illegal access: this web application instance has been stopped already. Could not load org.apache.log4j.spi.VectorWriter.
